Concepts Demonstrated

  • Lists are used to hold in the drill locations
  • Recursion and iteration are used in many procedures.
  • Write to and read from a file.
  • Filtering was used to organize the locations of the drill hits.

External Technology

The file it produces is to be used with a drill machine. The purpose is to replicate a circuit board drill pattern over X and Y times. This helps reduce the need to manually move the board and restart the program.

Innovation

This program is useful in producing a repeated pattern for a circuit board.
